haha, i already topped all 3 during veg.
i decided this grow would be simplified dramatically.

i only topped once in veg and decided to mostly ignore them.

so, actually, all 3 plants will have 2 colas.
Maria's colas are developing fast and tight, this is part of my learning about this strain. if i remember correctly, WH said this is a 5week/5week strain when she grows it hydro.
Maria was in veg 4.5 weeks. and took 6 days for preflower.
Oksana and Petra were in veg for 6 weeks and took 2 days for preflower.
so, in actual "flowering" time, they are only seperated by 1 week.

in the big picture, thanks for the idea, but i am not chancing stressing her at all with a topping.
I can still raise the light another foot higher if i need to.
I already promised them i wouldnt molest them at all in this grow.
